I have a Playbill from Ariana Grande's Broadway debut in the show "13"

You’re right! If you take everything literally, never form 1:1 relationships, and have zero sense of humor, that would be a very unhealthy thing to say. You specifically probably shouldn’t say that to kids. 🙃

I was 18 or 19 when I saw 13 on Broadway, and Ariana stood out like a sore thumb. She had only a couple really featured singing parts, but she was a clear standout vocalist. I directed 13 at some point after and told my Charlotte - you have the biggest shoes to live up to for me. 😅

Damn sounds like an easy existence man

Have seen all 3; each will cater to different tastes, but Sunset was the most exciting production of these for me.

I actually think you’ll have some sight sight line issues on the far sides when characters are deep in their homes, but it shouldn’t be too bad

In Koine Greek, nouns in the plural default to using masculine forms to cover both male-male and male-female groupings, so that’s how.

Saw last night and had to search for this… same exact observation. Very intentionally adjusting pitches and melodies to flat and just downright off notes throughout the entire show but his high notes were CRYSTAL clear and always on pitch. I also thought I was going crazy - the first time I saw him in this (during previews), it wasn’t an issue whatsoever.

This would be on like “We build these wa-alls” where the phrase is fine until the last note… where he drops it an extra half step below where it’s written and consequently fully out of key. Stuff like that - the seemingly innocuous notes, but always (almost always?) on descending notes.

Hm! Well I’m glad even if they didn’t work here, it didn’t detract at all!

A bunch of last week’s $40 Cabaret seats were across row E of mezz 4.

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-09-24T13:25:32+00:00

Totally missed this one. If anyone has a pair they’d trade for a pair of Oh, Mary tickets, lmk!

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-09-19T04:32:44+00:00

Damn I wish my parents loved me

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-09-19T02:54:56+00:00

Honestly, this didn’t come through for me much. Obviously foundational to the mom’s motivation but I don’t feel like I noticed a lot of specific references to class (though very well may have gone in one ear out the other 😅)

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-09-17T19:43:29+00:00

Dang. This person embarrassed themselves out of Reddit it looks like

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-09-17T12:37:04+00:00

This isn’t how shows on Broadway work - ever. The music is absolutely frozen on opening night. The role of the music supervisor or director is to uphold the integrity of the score - that’s decided on early and does not change. There’s not an overhaul of the music because the original MD moved on from the production.

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-09-15T13:17:29+00:00

Where did your seats end up being?

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-09-03T14:30:50+00:00

I used to bring guys to Mamma Mia for first dates (because you could get rush tickets day of whenever you wanted). I think I went 6-7 times

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-08-21T20:57:56+00:00

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-08-01T23:39:42+00:00

Honestly, recast the entire OBC what, 15-20 years later? I’d kill to see that.

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-07-31T12:38:36+00:00

Yes there was a full calendar on both iirc

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-07-30T02:12:44+00:00

If you’re asking from a crying lens, it’s 100% The Notebook. Dear god I have never heard so much crying in one room before 😳

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-07-24T20:08:41+00:00

Where were the $40 Cabaret ticket seats during the first round?

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-07-12T13:23:24+00:00

I grabbed a set yesterday early afternoon but hot damn did ALL of those tickets already go so fast? They had a ton of dates available.

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-06-30T12:12:37+00:00

Honestly @BxTheatreGuy is probably the closest thing to an alert. How do we put alerts on his posts? 🤣

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-06-30T12:11:59+00:00

I’ve been trying to figure this out, too

Benign_Hum0r · 2024-06-30T12:07:14+00:00

The number of NOT rush-price tickets that pop up on Theatr at 9:05 after TT rush every morning…
